“(The coaches told me) if they come your way, do what you do,” Murray said.

He was simply too much for Eastern Guilford to handle, capturing tournament Most Valuable Player honors.

“That was something really crazy,” Cummings coach Chas Criss said of Murray. “That’s the best I’ve seen him play.”

Cummings (7-0) turned a one-point third-quarter deficit into a 63-47 advantage. During that game-altering 21-4 burst that spanned the third and fourth quarters, Murray supplied 10 points and teammate Trey Smith had seven more.

Murray blocked eight shots in the fourth quarter, including seven in barely more than three minutes to start the last quarter.

Murray said it was his best outing in a high school game.

Cummings led by a dozen points in the first half and the Cavaliers were steady with a 36-26 edge late in the second quarter when Murray provided a putback dunk.

Eastern Guilford (6-5) surged to start the second half, with Eric Johnson’s 3-pointer trimming the hole to 42-41 and Caleb Robinson’s fast-break basket giving the Wildcats the lead.

The next five baskets came from five different Cummings players. That helped ease Criss’ concerns.

“We kind of got in too big of a hurry,” Criss said, sensing his team was trying too hard for the knockout blow prior to regrouping.

Smith, who racked up 12 first-half points, ended up with 19 points and Dedric Bowman poured in 13. Keith McAdoo of Cummings was an all-tournament selection.
